4th graders are researching birds for their art project. (And we are amused that we are "tweeting" this!!) 🦆🦅🦉
7th grade art classes search for images to use for their sgrafitto designs that will be added to their clay vessels!
7th grade creating their "Handscapes!"
After completing their clay owls, 6th graders collaborate using scrap clay to create this humorous sculpture. Inspired by our beautiful spring weather!
8th Collaborative Installations. Representing the group as a whole as well as the individual members.
8th graders are working on a "collaborative installation" project.
Students worked in groups to make plaster masks of their faces as the first stage in a mask design project.
